Atlas Aquatica, backed by a coalition of dive industry professionals, local communities, researchers, decision makers, and communicators, is committed to building organizational capacity within the diving sector and supporting their voices in international dialogues for sustainability.

By mapping and surveying the worldwide distribution of diving sites and diving operators (i.e., diving centers), Atlas Aquatica aims to calculate the annual global economic value of the diving industry to marine tourism.

Atlas Aquatica will:

  1. establish a multidisciplinary collaboration network to co-design strategies for the global diving community to contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, and
  2. describe the diving industry’s impact to the surrounding ecosystem and society.
